Travel: Something To Declare - News From The Travel World

True or false?

Norfolk, Virginia, has two international airports

True. As with many American cities, the home of the US Navy enjoys the choice of two airports: Norfolk International, a six-mile drive north- east from the city centre (for which the airport shuttle bus will charge $13), and Patrick Kelly International, 12 miles north. The former is usually used for diversions of international flights.

Other cities where you may be surprised to find not one but two airports include Houston (Intercontinental and Hobby), Dallas (DFW and Love Field) and Chicago (O'Hare and Midway). Your problems get worse if you are trying to find the right airport in New York (three) and Los Angeles (six).

One thing that all these airports have in common is that, in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration rules, boarding an aircraft while under the influence of alcohol is not permitted.

Latest Foreign Office advice Most visitors enjoy trouble-free holidays at resorts. Vigilance is still advisable outside the safety of your hotel. Be alert for bag-snatchers and pickpockets. Do not carry valuables, large amounts of cash or travel documents unnecessarily. Visitors are advised against walking at night or using public transport. Exercise caution when walking in isolated areas even in daylight hours. Do not offer resistance in the event of an attempted robbery.
